As one of the original pioneers of the early 1990s hardcore breakbeat/techno scene (which eventually evolved into drum & bass), Nigel had a string of dance chart hits in the UK, under aliases such as Release and Rhythm Junior.

Nigel Broad

Initially signed to the Contagious Records (UK) label as an artist and producer, Nigel soon took on the roles of co-executive producer and head of A&R at the label.

Trained as an audio engineer at the world-famous Marquee Studios in London, Nigel would often produce and engineer for other artists at the labels’ 24-track studio in Dagenham, Essex, preferring the solace of the studio to the business side of running a label.

In 1994, Nigel relocated to Los Angeles, California, to work as a composer and digital artist for film & TV. Since then, Nigel has had over 100 tracks placed in network and cable TV shows, in commercials, and several movies.

It was while working for Apple’s ProApps division in 2002 that Nigel first discovered Logic, and soon after became an Apple Certified Pro in Logic Pro. Nigel has over 25 years’ experience in nearly every aspect of music production to share with you, with tips, tricks and production secrets to help you get the most from your music!

Arturia’s CMI V is a faithful recreation of the Fairlight CMI series IIx, the music workstation that revolutionized music production in the ’80s. Learn all about this digital sound design powerhouse with trainer and synthesis expert Nigel Broad.

Nigel Broad turns Drummer on it's head in this course! Starting with a simple introduction to Drummer and choosing a track, he manages to explain how to use producer kits and the mixer to create new tracks to cut, mix, and match in order to achieve a whole new sound. The latter part of the course also does the same thing for using Logic's Retro synths to create D'n'B, Trance, and Dubstep bass rythyms and pads!

No need to go shopping for tons of 3rd party drum machines and drum libraries. Nigel Broad hands us a plethora of information which helps us transform new ideas for beat making, and song writing.
5 stars!

Great tutorial on the production of a drum and bass track by Nigel Broad in Logic Pro.
Nigel demonstrates how he builds a track from start-to-finish in this course; his workflow, production and mixing techniques.
Although this course was produced in an earlier version of Logic Pro (8 I believe) all techniques shown can be easily transferred to other DAWs, including Logic Pro X :-P

Excellent allrounder course on producing, mixing and mastering dub-step music by Nigel Broad in Logic Pro 9. Like Nigel's other bass music courses all the techniques he utilses in this course can be easily transferred to other DAWs.
I also recommend watching 'dub-step essentials' and 'confessions of a drum & bass producer'.
